is it possible remove the new "Wireless Projection Banner" introduced in 1809 or at the very least move it so that it does pop-up every time I touch a tab in my browser?

    I had this problem, too. After disconnecting, the control banner remained and couldn't be unpinned or dismissed.

    I got rid of it by opening Task Manager and, after making sure the "More details" button was selected, selecting the "Windows Shell Experience Host" process and clicking "End Task". The process status was then shown to be "Suspended". I don't know if anything else was affected--I didn't notice any problems--but the annoying control banner went away.

    Simply annoying, more if you like to have the taskbar at the top of the screen. I like to have it there in my little Thinkpad.

    I SOLVED it by renaming a file in c:\Windows\System32 named Windows.Internal.PlatformExtension.MiracastBannerExperience.dll

    I've had to change the owner of the file from its Properties->Security->Advanced options->then at the top change the owner, next give permissions to Administrators users, and change the file extension to .old.

    I've had to reboot for this lovely hack to take effect. I connected again to my Samsung wireless TV and no more stupid banner.

    I don't know if this is a good advice but I've got rid of it.  I'm a simple user and won't be responsible if you burn your TV or Mars changes its orbit by renaming that file.

    Please excuse my poor english.

    MS please, why you call EXPERIENCE to things like this? If you add something to our work space, please let us disable it!! Or put it SMALLER.

    Regards.

    From a reply above -

    Open Task Manager and, after making sure the "More details" button was selected, selecting the "Windows Shell Experience Host" process and clicking "End Task".

    This will close the banner and then the "Windows Shell Experience Host" process restarts automatically all is good.

    My problem is that the banner doesn't go away when the remote screen is disconnected. It exists, but all options are greyed out. How do I close it? I don't mind it there when it's connected because I can "unpin" it.

    Extremely annoying and frustrating indeed.  

    Alternate solution (worked for me):

    Open task manager (CTRL+ALT+DELETE)

    Right click on Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) and select RESTART.

    Poof! Banner gone.
